Is anyone selling a female psalmopoeus irminia in the UK (north west) Would like it to be a juvenile however an adult would be great too.

i did a little research for things like temp, humidity, natural habitats etc and found some information saying that Tapinauchenius are the fastest genus. I cleaned out her enclosure today (unfortunately where she was kept before the people had the enclosure like a swamp (and i do understand they...

My gorgeous Tapinauchenius plumpies which i bought yesterday. She around 3" and doesn't really have any adult colouration except her abdomen.

i recently bought (yesterday) a Tapinauchenius plumpies and i read up online that they're related to the Avicularia because its a tree spider. The common name is Mahogany tree spider. You'll find photos of my Tapinauchenius plumpies below. Thank you for any comments.

shes beautiful

I know that both tarantulas are gorgeous but I'm undecided between so I thought I'd ask on here on other peoples opinions. I am swinging towards the B boehmi because of its gorgeous red/orange legs but I'm unsure. Thank you for any replys

don't worry about it at the moment. My B. hamorii (ex smithi) has a bald spot. However i would check every now and then for anything else.

thanks for the reply. When i bought the B. Hamorii before i knew about the name change, however i do now call this species hamorii not smithi. Just thought id reply

don’t worry I wasn’t handling her. She was on her enclosure side and I put my hand there to show people the size of her

My young B Smith (Hamorri) climbs it’s wall and is rarely on subtrate. Her substrate isn’t wet or even damp. I don’t mist of wet her enclosure at all. However there is a water dish. I understand that this species doesn’t like wet substrate. Substrate I’m using is coco fibre with something that a...

Will I need a heat mat for crickets? I understand that heat mats are recommended for roaches because if you are planning on making a colony it helps with the reproduction. However if I was to have a colony of crickets so that my tarantulas food source is sustainable (also there interesting to...

Thanks for the message. I know most of what you said like the fasting etc. But the heat mat advice is something that I’ll take up. Unfortunately I live in a cold area in Britain so it can drop to like 30F at night 0 - 1C and my room tends not to be warm so I thought I should keep the heat mat...

thanks, I have a heat mat for her. I didn’t use it at first for a week but she was acting strange. She would have her legs scrunched up to her body (not curled (death curl)) as if to keep warm and ever since I’ve put the heat mat she has opened up and now walks around her enclosure confidantly...

Young juvenile B. Smithi

Unsure of its age but it isn’t a adult. Probably one more molt and then a sub adult so it is very smaller. Maybe around 4 inch leg span. I’ve been trying to feed her every other day or so but she will not feed and actually avoids the cricket. I’m unsure why. The crickets are perfect for her...
